I truly enjoyed and learned so much from my little Imbolc feast. This time, I cooked the ritual food by my own. What better offering to the muse of creativity than something you created yourself? I actually spent more time in the kitchen than in front of the altar. But then, the kitchen is the modern hearth. Here is the true altar of Brighid.
Brighid's Flames
Imbolc food: bannocks with raisins, honey-sweetened milk with a pinch of nutmeg, and clarified butter. Too much dairy for poor lactose-intolerant me, but I had fun making them
Eight candles partly submerged in a pan of water representing the Fire and the Well, to call upon the blessings of Brighid.
Boiling butter. Mmm, smells good!
Butter. And butter clarified.
It's all about fire and creativity. So it makes more sense to cook my own food.
Beannacht oraibh!
